Caiside accepted the water bottle with a raised eyebrow. Not understanding why it has been passed to him at first. At the tap of the chin he understood, chucking under his breath and wetting his hand. ”A proper bath does sound nice.” He agreed, dreaming of something far more luxurious than a simple stream, though he would in reality settle for anything.
Jigano’s voice, his hesitation and sadness, all pointed to a deeper, more painful story, but Caiside was too polite to pick at someone’s half truth. That, and he couldn’t be hypocritical, especially not to a man he genuinely considered a friend. ”It is difficult to imagine you not having a place anywhere. But I can understand it if you chose it.” Caiside looked up at his silver haired companion and smiled knowingly. ”I made the same one, not so long ago.” It was a difficult and noble thing to be able to move past things like that, and especially into the kind of position Jigano had.
Accepting the offered hand gratefully, Caiside let himself be helped to his feet, about to thank Jigano for his kindness when he caught Sam’s name. His face twitched neatrl imperceptibly, his smile growing tighter and faker for a moment.Ot was. Good thing that he was almost immediately distracted by pondering the question that followed the name. What were his specialities anymore? All of his knowledge of history, the divine, languages, all of it was worthless here. ”I... suppose he could put fauna, as a speciality. I kept an amateur bestiary book in my home, that I updated whenever I could. And...” Caiside hummed, obviously thinking. ”The gods, and linguistics, though I will have to relearn both here. Anything else I don’t think will be of much use here.” He laughed, though not as lightly as he meant to, his own words deflating him somewhat.
